Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 209 Ding Han is sorry to Lu Xiaobei
"no……"

I was speechless. I pulled Lu Xiaobei aside and said, "Why are you filming me? Why are you filming me? Answer me..."

"We need a passerby character in the music video. We don't need a full-face view, just a side profile or a view from behind."

Lu Xiaobei laughed and said, "Relax, I'll lend a hand~~~"

"..."

I was speechless again. To be honest, if she appears in profile, people who know her might still recognize her.

"Ding Han".

Milo said, "Stop being so dramatic. Others don't even have the chance to be extras in music videos. I'm just helping my brother out. Hurry up, it's because your profile is so handsome..."

"Damn, you can actually say something like that? I have no choice but to help you out..."

"Haha, that's exactly right!"

Soon after, the film crew arrived at a coffee shop in the lakeside area. As usual, they filmed a few scattered shots of Lu Xiaobei. Then they arranged for me to sit by the window and filmed a set of side profile shots from the outside and a set of back shots from the inside. When they filmed my back, Lu Xiaobei stood outside watching me with a look full of sadness in his eyes.

I have no idea what those two are up to. I'm completely clueless, so I can only play along.

After all, Milo and Lu Xiaobei are the people I'm closest to in the Star Abyss World, and they certainly wouldn't harm me.

……

Finally, all filming was completed by evening.

"Whoo~~~"

Lu Xiaobei sat down in front of me, gently patted his chest, and said, "This is too tiring; it's not work for a human being."

"correct."

I asked, "Where are you two staying tonight? Do you have any plans?"

"A place to stay has been found. You'll come with me in a bit."

Milo smiled meaningfully: "Ding Han, this place might give you a little surprise."

"is it?"

"Ok!"

So, after filming was completed, two cars came and picked us all up. Then we drove around half of East Lake and stopped in a tourist and commercial area.

From a distance, the lakeside is lined with guesthouses, making this the most tourist-oriented area in the entire Huaining City.

"This place..."

I examined it for a moment, then lowered my voice and said, "Luo'er, why does it remind you of Erhai Lake in Dali?"

"I had the same illusion when I first saw the photo."

Milo smiled mysteriously: "Let's go, the inn we booked is not far ahead."

So, Milo led the way, and Lu Xiaobei and I walked side by side.

She looked around with curiosity, and it was clear from her eyes that she genuinely liked the place. Not long after, the group stopped in front of an inn with a small garden facing outwards and a sign that read "Wutong Inn".

'Holy crap...no way?'

I was stunned. The layout here was almost identical to that of the Wutong Inn in the movie "Breakup Buddies". It was also all in pure white style, with the staircase to the second floor located outside and filled with flowers and plants, which immediately created a tourist atmosphere!
"Isn't it awesome?" Milo asked with a low laugh.

"Cattle!"

I nodded sincerely, then gave him a look and asked in a low voice, "Is the innkeeper one of our own?"

"Ok!"

Milo nodded: "Just like me, but he's passionate about life, so he opened this inn. Come on, we've booked the whole inn, you can stay here tonight too."

At this moment, Lu Xiaobei transformed into a blur and rushed into the inn, his eyes beginning to glow.

"Ding Han, this place is so beautiful..."

She glanced at the inn, then at the beautiful scenery of East Lake, and was instantly captivated. She then rushed towards the film crew and said, "Could we film a scene here too?"

"of course can."

The young woman leading the film crew smiled and nodded: "Let's get started, let's get to work!"

So we went in. The innkeeper was a middle-aged man who looked honest and simple. He poured tea for everyone, while Lu Xiaobei started filming. Soon after, he pulled me over and filmed a few pictures of my profile and back.

Afterwards, Lu Xiaobei found a few more angles he liked and asked to take a few more sets of photos.

The innkeeper had just painted a white message wall in the inn lobby...

Everything was so well-planned, it was totally scripted!

"This really isn't my fault..."

Milo sighed and said in the player's voice chat, "I only met the owner of this inn last night. This guy is a crazy fan of that movie, so he paid to take over the inn and spent months renovating it. He got so into character. This really wasn't my arrangement..."

"know."

I nodded: "So, Xiao Bei, why did you film so many scenes of me? Can you tell me now?"

"Okay."

Milo gave a helpless and desperate smile: "Xiao Bei agreed to sign a contract with us for the single 'Bare Face,' but on one condition: I, the male lead singer, cannot appear in the music video. Even if I do appear, it must be in the recording studio. In her mind, you are the male lead for 'Bare Face,' but she is worried about your privacy, so she only filmed your profile and back. These will be added to the music video as clips, along with the female lead played by Xiao Bei..."

He grinned: "Xiao Bei said something even more outrageous. She said I wasn't good enough to be the male lead in her music video, which is why this whole thing happened. What can I do, bro? I'm fucking desperate too..."

"Fuck..."

I was completely shocked.

Is there anything in this world that Lu Xiaobei wouldn't do?

"What are you talking about?" Just then, Lu Xiaobei finished filming, plopped down next to me, and looked over with a smile.

"No, it's nothing..." Milo said hastily.

Then, the innkeeper came over, pen in hand, and smiled at us: "Gentlemen, the inn has just been renovated and the message wall has been painted. I wonder if we are honored to receive your first messages?"

I slowly stood up and said, "Let me, Geng Hao, be the first to leave a comment..."

"..."

The shop owner looked at me in surprise, then Milo gave him a "you know what I mean" look, and the shop owner immediately laughed, handing me the pen and saying, "Thank you, thank you!"

I stepped forward and wrote the two characters "Ding Han" on a brick in the center of the message wall.

Beside him, Lu Xiaobei took the pen and wrote the three characters "Lu Xiaobei" a little behind "Ding Han".

"It's my turn."

Milo stepped forward, took a pen, and wrote the words "I'm sorry" between us.

"what?"

Lu Xiaobei narrowed her beautiful eyes: "Hmm... this is indeed suitable."

"Cough cough..."

The innkeeper said, "Milo, move to a different spot and write your name carefully. Take a picture later. My little shop is hoping to attract some business with your name in the future."

"Sure, it's no trouble at all!"

Milo moved to a different spot and wrote his name, Milo. After that, several staff members also found places to write their names, and the message wall suddenly became lively.

Lu Xiaobei took out her phone, snapped a picture of the words "Ding Han is sorry to Lu Xiaobei" and then glanced at me, saying, "Keep this as evidence of your sins."

……

In the end, I didn't stay at the inn. Although Wutong Inn was nice and a place where you could clear your mind, it wasn't a safe haven in life.

Around 9 p.m., I returned to my residence.

When I opened the door, Lin Qingying was sitting upright on the sofa, in the middle of a video conference. When she saw me come in, she put her finger to her lips and gestured for me not to disturb her.

I nodded, went to the bathroom to pee, then sat across from her and used my phone to log onto the dark web to look up some useful information.

Around 10 o'clock, Lin Qingying stopped working and planned to wash up and rest.

"what's wrong?"

She noticed me looking at her and asked a question.

"fine."

I smiled and said, "Milo and Lu Xiaobei have come to Huaining City. I entertained them all day today. They are flying to BH City tomorrow morning, so I wanted to borrow your car to see them off tomorrow morning."

"Ah."

She nodded: "Then as usual, you can take me to work first."

"no problem."

……

The next day, everything proceeded as planned.

First, he took Lin Qingying to work, then drove to Wutong Inn, and took Milo and Lu Xiaobei to the airport. Now, one of them is a popular singer, and the other is the leading lady in a popular singer's music video. They deserve such treatment.

The flight was quite late, and it was already past 11 PM when I dropped off the two people. So on the way back, I sent Lin Qingying a voice message: "I'm coming back now. Should I park the car downstairs at your Yuening building, or should I pick you up as usual after get off work?"

Shortly after, Lin Qingying replied, "I have a lot of things to do today, so I might not be able to leave work on time. Park downstairs at Yuening's building. I'll have my assistant go down to get the keys. You can come up with her. It's lunchtime, so I'll treat you to a Yuening staff meal."

I was slightly taken aback. Such a good thing! Luo Mei employees eating Yu Ning's work meals—this is something that ordinary Luo Mei employees can't enjoy.

Upon arriving at the foot of Yuening Building, Shen Man indeed came over, holding her work card, and said with a smile, "Let's go, President Lin is already waiting for you."

"it is good!"

After going upstairs, Shen Man escorted me all the way to Lin Qingying's office.

She just came out and said with a smile, "Shall we go? I'm actually a little hungry..."

So, walking side by side with Lin Qingying, they went downstairs to Yuening's restaurant. When the restaurant came into view, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned. It was so grand! A big corporation is a big corporation. Our Luo Mei can't compare at all.

"Mr. Lin..."

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

Along the way, people kept greeting her, and Lin Qingying nodded in response to each one.

Then I swiped her work card and ordered two meals. I looked around and finally chose a lot of meat dishes. Anyway, Lin Qingying was treating, so I didn't need to save money for Yuening Group.

Not far away, many Yuening employees still cast surprised glances.

First, Lin Qingying probably rarely goes downstairs to eat; she most likely has someone bring her lunch up. Second, most people in Yuening don't know me, and it's unusual for Lin Qingying to be eating with a strange man.

Fortunately, Lin Qingying remained unmoved, exuding the full pressure of a CEO. She completely ignored the stares of others, personally escorted me downstairs after we finished eating, and then returned to work.

……

Luo Mei.

Continue working with Fatty to frantically repair those unruly appliances.

"drop!"

In the evening, a message came from a friend, Fa Ye Chao Chen, a player whose hidden class was Star Speaker, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time: "Ding Han, are you free tonight?"
